Minecraft

I’ve been designing digital spaces since I was 12.
They just looked a little… blockier back then.

I spent more hours tucked away in pixelated caves than I ever did doing my math homework, completely losing track of time while building, exploring, and experimenting.

During COVID, Minecraft became where I spent most of my time glued to my computer. It was a space to create, escape, and connect, all at once.

It all started with


I might have been just a bit obsessed

Might have been really into Avatar as well (not the blue people)

At SCAD, I found the language for that curiosity. Today, I use it to design thoughtful, intuitive digital experiences that balance creativity and usability

I’m inspired by the small details and how something feels to use, not just how it looks. For me, designing is about being intentional, taking time to explore ideas, and making choices that quietly improve the experience.

Now, designing digital worlds is still my obsession — they’re just a lot more real.

My Process

No two projects look exactly the same, and neither does my process. I listen, research, experiment, and iterate—always keeping real people and their needs at the center of what I create.

#Step 1

Research & Discovery

Explore user needs, stakeholder goals, and existing experiences. Gather research and insights to build a strong foundation for user-centered design.

#Step 3

UI Design & Prototyping

Bring ideas to life through thoughtful visual design and realistic prototypes, ensuring every interaction feels intuitive, engaging, and purposeful.

#Step 2

Structure & Wireframing

Translate research into intuitive user flows and low-fidelity wireframes, ensuring every interaction is purposeful before moving into visual design.

#Step 4

Development & Testing

Fine-tune the experience through user testing, developer collaboration, and feedback to create a polished final product.
